Exactly. At this point, the overall LB corps is the worse I've seen it. We are at super red alert status at the LB position. And people are saying " just take the BPA??" Please.

So, if Jones, Jordan, Mingo, et al. are off the board, who do you take? Reaching for a linebacker is idiotic. Not only do you not fill your need (a stud LB), you miss out on a possible great player (all that Zach named). You screw two positions.

if Womack, Cooper, Allen or Patterson are there, your going to pass on them just to take a LB... I dont think so.

Patterson is a project player. He needs a lot of work. Allen I do like.

But these WR are nothing to write home to momma about. Yeah...I'm passing on them. And I like the talent our O-line already has. Don't get me wrong, I like Womack but there is an abundant of talent and picks already invested in the O-line.

Again, of the top 3 picks, 2 have to be LB or else we dabble in FA. Currently we have:

Harrison - Gone
Timmons - The lone bright spot
Woodley - Can he stay healthy? Is he under 280 lbs.?
Foote - UFA - But probably will be back. Even so, serviceable at best. 32 or 33 years old?
Worilds - Jury is out, but my hunch is serviceable at best. Doesn't seem to have the Steeler LB lineage
Carter - Unknown quantity, can't make the club if you are in the tub
Sylvester - Please, not even a good ST player
Johnson - Bengal cast-off
Spence - Sorry to report career could be in jeopardy due to knee injury
